OFFICE OF CLEITK OF THE PAII.LIAMENTS. the till tißosv F.NoR inquired whether it was intended to move tor a Coiwni , tee respecting the Office of Cletk of the larliantents The E 4 ,1 of LlVEttOoot. was not aware that it “a 3 ptoposed to wove tot a t2otnntittee ; but it was ceFtoinly intended, iti the co. :re of the Se;sion, to bring in tt Bill for the prospective ref!nlation of the Office of Clerli oldie after the termination of ih vested interesf•, so as to render it an efficient Office. The Earl GROStENOR observed, that it appear ed the W1 1.7e was grante,l to Ilse late Clerk of the Parliaments in recession, after the death of the person who was Ilse successor to the individual then actually holding the Office. He was highly desirous that the Office should be regulated. The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, that the intended measure was similar to that which was applied to the Clerkship of the other House, and that it was evident the two Noirle Lords meant the same thing, to have this Office also regulated. OFVICES IN REVERSION. the Earl CaosveNoa then adverted to the granting of Offices in reversion, which he wished should be altogether abolished, anti expressed his desire to move for an Account of all Offices granted in reversion. The Earl of LiVenroor.. said, if the 'notion on ly applied to Offices granted by the Crown be had no objection if to Offices gratsted to Other pet sons, he should . object to it. The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, that no rea son had been assigned, either for the motion of the Noble Earl (Grosvenor), or the opposition to a part of it by the Noble Earl opposite_ The Eatl GROSVENOA consented to omit all that relat , d to Offices granted by other persons than the Clown. The Lotto CHANCELLOR observed, that with regard to himself he had granted no offices in re version, the offices ill the Court of Chancery be ing granted by the Crown ; but with respect to the Chief Justices in the Courts in Westminster it was proper to observe, that their salaries .Lad not -been increased for a considerable period, end th it the patronage of offices granted by them served instead. It this was taken away, their . emoluments ought undoubtedly to be increased. If, however, it was persisted in to obtain au ac . count ot offices - granted in reversion, he should feel it his duty to rt move for an Account of Grants ot Land made by the Crown. The Earl GROSVENOA SAO to such a motion he should not obiect. Ile could riot, however, but consider in any shape the panting of offices in reversion as highly improper, and he trusted the aay would come when he should see the entire abolition of so injurious a practice. The Motion rebttieted to grarr s of offices in re vertiou by the Crow', was agr•ed STATE or THE COUNTIII: Lord Viscount SIDBIOUTH presented a sealed bag of papers, whielt,he stated he had it in com mand from the Prince Regent to lay before the House. They related to the state of the country, and the erents that had happened since the se cond report last session of the Committee of Se crecy. It bad been his intention to have moved this day to refer these papers to a Committee of Secrecy, hut a melancholy event (the death of the Earl of Upper Ossory) having happened, which lie was sure would be felt both by their Lordships and the country, and which prevented the atten dance of two Noble Lords, who wished to take p a rt in the discussion, he should postpone that motion till to-morrow. The Lords, on the motion of the Noble Vis count, were ordered to be summoned for to morrow (this day), and the lag of Papers to re main in the mean time in the custody of the Clerk of the House.—Adjourned till to•morrow (this day). lIOUSE OF COMMONS.

IRELAND.—COPY of the REPORT of the BOARD of CIVIL ENGINEERS, which sat at No. 21, Mary-street, DUBLIN, from 23d December 1817 to the 19th January 1818. (Ordered, by the House of Commons, to be printed, 29th January, 1818.) In obedience to his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant's Warrant, of the 22d day of - December last, appointing U 3 the Board of Civil Engineers under the Act of. the 57th year of his Majesty's Reign, intituled, " An Act for tl►e more delibe rate Investigation of Presentments, &c. &c." IVe, on, the 23d day of the same month, proceeded to examine the several Candidates for the Office of County Surveyors ; an Advertisement dated the I2th having been previously inserted in the seve ral Dublin Newspapers, intimating that the Exa minations would commence on or about the 22d aforesaid ; on this day we also published another Advertisement, requesting each Candidate to send in his address in Dublin to the Board, in order that notice might be sent when his attendance would be required ; and notices were accordingly sent to those who gave their address. The Board continued to sit from ten o'clock in the morning till four in the afternoon, and from six to nine in the evening, and spared no pains in fully and impartially investigating the qualifica tions of all those who presented themselves. But, as sundry names had been sent in without any address, and others neglected to attend, although repeated Notices had been sent to the addresses furoislied, a third Advertisement was inserted on the 7th instant, stating these circumstances, and requesting all who were desirous of undergoing an Examination, to attend on or before the 10th instant ; and still, as the Board was desirous to Afford ample time, the were cono - until the 19th instant. Bat, ul►on the "hole of this painful and tedious investigation, finding so very few of the g;eat number who presented themselves possessed -of t:►e-necessary experience and practical knowledge in Road-n►akin and Bridge-building, which form the chief portions of the duty of County Sur veyors, - the Board has not granted any Certifi cates; and is of opinion that no advantageous proceedings can be taken nutlet. that Clause of the Act by which it is appointed. . - THOMAS TELFORD.

A Plandcrs Mail Arrived at a late bottr last night, with BrliA'seli Papers CO the'3oth ult. The folloWing are extraetS FRANKFORT, JAN. 22..—The fate of Count Las Casas IS at length decided. Since hiS arrival in our city lie has keen constantly guarded by a Prussian Commissioner ; he is now going to be placed Ru der the protection of Austria, *bich grants bliss au asylum iir its dominions ; hut his health has suffered so much that he is net only unable to tra vel, but even his life is thought to be in danger. Al! the inquiries that have been Made have not led to the discovery of the least ground for re proach against M. Las Casas. The uneasiness which his appearance in Europe has excited is explained by the very name of the man whose friend he openly professes himself to be, and who, like Hannibal, will not cease to inspire alarm till he ceases to exist. It has been thought proper on the Continent to sheW the more rigour towards 31. Las Casas, as the British • Governtnent was se vere in the reception it gave him. It was to be supposed that such rigorous measures indicated a culpability that was very well proved. It seems, however, that his attachment to Napoleon is en tirely personal, and wholly independent of politi cal reasons. It is affirmed that M. Las, Casas greatly desires to return to England, notwith standing the bad reception he met with in that country, in order to plead the cause of his friend,. and to obtain for him a milder treatment in the country where he is to terminate his days. • BRUSSELS JAN. 28.—A letter from Cadiz of the Bth of this month contains the following passage: —" A vessel which arrived here yesterday from the Havannah announces for certain the news that the celibrated Chief, Mina, who. was tah•.n prisoner by the Royal troops, arrived at Mexico on the 10th of November, where he was guarded with the greatest rigour till his fate should be decided."
